** meant to say ROMs and not mods in the title
Hello,
I am one of the few that actually like touchwiz but i also like being able to change roms so i was not really into a bunch of the roms i was trying out until i flashed the flappjaxxx UCLF6 rom. but i wanted to update and it looks like he has stopped working on that project. the rom in am on is IMM76D.UCLF6+FJMod-Build_12
The key parts to why i like this rom are the month view calendar shows text instead of just colored blocks like AOSP month view. and I do like a lot of the contact functionality like long press to send contact info via SMS (instead of a conatact book file) and contact book group messaging. I am assuming this is TouchWiz functionality.
anyway wanted to see if anyone had made a rom similar to the flappjaxxx one that wasn't just a themed or graphics wrapped version of the same rom.
thanks,
nate
Indeed, those are TouchWiz features.
Bigfau has black star
Nunhugger has novena
Both are TouchWiz based ics Roms.
Both offer added features while maintaining the features of TouchWiz.
both of those developers along with myself are on of the development team that flappjaxx is a part of as well.
Flapp is taking some time off developing to pursue his professional career.
And now you're in luck, AT&T just released a jellybean update of TouchWiz, Bigfau and nunhugger will be working to update black star to this new firmware.
Thanks! What rom do you endorse personally?

I personally like novena, but I was running aosp builds of another of our team members Rom "gubment cheeze" then hopped onto novena to help out and test.
Black star was being developed at the same time as cheeze and at that time I wasn't wanting TouchWiz so I kinda passed that one by,
but as I said in my previous, that's being updated to the jelly bean TouchWiz firmware that was dropped Thursday. So that's what I'd be keeping my eyes on.
You rule, this is the exact information I was looking for

Yes. This is the information I was looking for.. Do you think that any of these roms thas comming out will have pieces of sg4 on it like the ultimate rom for n7000

Greetings,
I don't have the Galaxy Note (yet), but before I pick one up, I've got a few questions about the available ROMS.
1. Which ROM floating around out there is closest to Stock ICS? (I'd be coming from a Galaxy Nexus.)
2. Are there any ROMS that get rid of all the Samsung Custom Apps? Not just TouchWiz, I'll get rid of that with ADWLauncher, but all the customizations that Samsung has done to Messenger, Calendar, etc.
I'm eager to get the Note, but I want to make sure it's easily "De-Samsung-ified" first.
Thanks!

Thanks, That does look good, but I'm a bit apprehensive when I see Beta in the title. Is this what you're using? Can you post screenshots of the Messenging and Calendar apps? The Samsung customizations of those really bother me. I know it's nitpicking, I'm a bit anal with my devices...
It comes shipped with the Samsung apps, there is an aosp app ad on within the roms ota feature.
There isn't a true aosp ROM for the note... Yet.
Thanks @studacris @briand.mooreg for the suggestion. Are there any others, I'm looking for a stable, non-beta ROM to use at first, but once I get confortable with the device, I'll play around with it more.
It's only a beta by name alone. because we, the collective, have much more in store for it.
It's stable as a table.
Once we get official ICS, devs are gonna go ALL out on the ROMs. :thumbup:
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
I think until we get source for ICS, any ROM you see available will claim to be an Alpha or a Beta (at developer's decision).
The reality of the situation is that all of the i717 ICS ROMS are based on a leaked ICS build, not something official.

When the source comes out, will it be posted online like Google posts the images for the Nexus devices? I ask because I'm just looking for as Pure an ICS experience as I can get.
I don't even have the Note yet, but I flashed my Galaxy Nexus to AOSP ICS tonight and I'm a bit eager to dive into Android experimenting and maybe eventually cooking up a ROM myself.
Thanks.
try out dagr8s rom its pretty awesome def with the tablet mod
Dude thuer all beta or alpha we have no source codes to make a rc ics rom yet but its coming don't worry and most ics roms out right now are very stable and very nice don't be afraid lol go buy a note and Ice it out

Is there a ics rom that gives me the s3 experience. Basically a 4.0 stock rom that would come on the s3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA
no but there is a lot of addons out there you can slap on a sammy or AOSP rom.
there sure is.
you can buy an S3
OR
you could hang out in the dev and themes/apps areas and learn....maybe one will pop up
Maybe reading might be beneficial
What a magical idea

I agree with the "reading" concept. Read up on what values you are looking for.
It can help you decide what you want to decide on. )
You should check out Shishir's updated ICS rom. Nearly a carbon copy of stock S3 with working apps like s-voice and flipboard plus with his own add ons. Really nice rom if I do say so myself so that's your best bet

Hi All
I have a UK Galaxy S3 and would like to root and install a clean Vanilla ICS ROM.
Please can someone advise on best method of roooting and which ROM to use?
I'm being cautious as I don't want to brick my phone.
Many thanks in advance.
Do you mean Non-Touchwiz? Because I'm yet to find one that is like that.
I'm also on the look out for a Touchwiz ROM that's been themed to be blue and black like the ICS colours
Yes non touch wiz please as I hate it. Why do these stupid manufacturers spend so much money and resource to create something that is pointless. ICS already has everything anybody could want from a launcher.
I installed cm9 on my S2 and it was epic, I guess cm9 isn't out for the S3 yet?
Thanks
Perhaps you could have a look on the Android and Original Android Development Threads?
I use Omega ROM 9.1
Great and close to stock...

MY problem with using non-Sammy ROM's is a lot of features get lost. I'm after a ROM/theme that's truely ICS themed but totally black and blue like most of the apps. Sammy are just teasing me, because even in stuff like the RAM and Task manager it's blue and black ICS themed but they have this ugly light blue and green battery stuff going on
What sort of features Kryten?

Well for instance in the CM9 ROM it looks like a lot of the camera features are gone. You just have dumb picks "SD, HD 720, HD1080" etc. I dunno. It was the same on my HTC Desire. I had Oxygen on there for the longest time and it was ok, but it didn't have the same functionality as the Sense ROM's (though it was much quicker and more stable which is why I kept it regardless. My GF uses it now and loves it).
I just want one that is touchwiz, but looks exactly like ICS:
This for instance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730397
It's just not compatible with my ROM (and I never had any luck getting it on odex or deodex'd ROM's. There's an update due tomorrow!
Slim ics is built from aosp source with a few choice picks from cm9 and aokp, fast smooth, and good battery, but if you want vanilla ics then you need to buy a nexus

I bought my father the note (he had the s2 before) a fee weeks ago. I had installed aokp on his s2 before but when now, I installed black star which has all the stock touch wiz features that me and my dad remember from when we first got our phones. I want him to run the aokp jb ROM but he loves that ROM too much (but its too laggy)
I was able to install one of those touchwiz themes... but that's not what I'm looking for I'm looking for the specific apps especially the phone. Sammy really did a great job with the phone. I'd love the built in task manager but that's probably too much to ask for.. any idea his I can get the touchwiz apps on a aokp rom? Phone, messaging.. music maybe..
Thanks a million
They don't work on aokp roms. Must be a touchwiz based rom. There are replacements for the apps such as gnote for smemo or memo beta from the play store.
As for black star being laggy I think you should check how you flashed and be sure you followed the proper flashing procedures in the OP of that thread. It is a very good rom. It runs fast for me and many others.

Some how a dev in the N7000 thread has managed to put snote premium suite on his miui rom so maybe in the future we will have it for other TW phones like the i717.

I figured it was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to put the s-pen apps on non TW roms. I woukd think that would make them more appealing to many other people that stick with stock because of the apps.

yea I hope we see it on our note soon they have it with miuirocket rom which is a asop derivative.

Curiosity poll. Also to help me choose my next ROM, since official 4.3 is near.
For all y'all fun people using a Note II-- have you gotten the best mileage out of an AOSP ROM (CM, AOKP, AOSPA etc.), a modified Stock ROM (Jelly'Beans', etc.) or just plain old Samsung 4.1.2? I put AOSPA on my Note II as soon as I got it and have stuck with it mostly, but the prevalence of stock-based ROMs means there must be a point. Does TouchWiz actually bring anything to the table?
Interested to see what anyone says. Thanks!
Dude, these threads are not allowed and this is going to be shut down soon. There is no answer to your question.

^^ This ^^ the answer depends on what each individual users wants and how they use their phone.
Trial and error is the answer, thread closed.
